Ann Friedman says Sarah Palin and her ilk may claim to speak for moms, but offer no policy solutions for working families:
Where do these candidates stand on children’s health insurance? On family-leave policies? On consumer product safety? On early childhood education? We can make some inferences based on their anti-government talking points, but their campaigns don’t even touch on these issues. When they do weigh in, they offer opposition, not solutions. They’re against “Obamacare.” Against cap-and-trade. Against spending. The campaign website of Sharron Angle, the extreme right-wing challenger to Harry Reid in Nevada, was recently scrubbed of calls to completely abolish the Department of Education.
